didnt read it all, so it might have been mentioned
look into medical studies. some you can do at home, others you check into a facility for a weekend, some for weeks at a time (probably not good for your situation)
by the time drugs are ready for these trials they are very safe. what you have to do depends on the type of drug or what they are looking for. my ex did one, 4 weekends (check in friday night, check out sunday afternoon) for $4000. that includes food and stuff too while you are in the facility. the downside is they take your blood all the time.... i want to say somewhere around 60 times over teh course of the weekend?
